Kitchen flooring

When remodeling a kitchen, do I have the tile floor fully installed before cabinets are installed? Or do I tile around the base cabinets? Thanks

You can do it either way.

Pro – don’t need too worry about elevations or changes in cabinet layouts. Easier to install where the toe kicks will be.

Con, cost if using expensive tile. Timing.

If you decise to do it afterwards make sure that the is enough adjustment under the diswasher. Put in some plywood or similar to make the finished floor under the DW the same height as the finished tile.

the condition of the sub-floor, if you’re remembering that the floor underneath free-standing ranges, dishwashes (sometimes, more often than not), refrigerators, etc. should be finished; the type of flooring finish existing, what will and will not be removed; what type of flooring material, AND the method of installation being proposed;

size of the area (especially important depending on the type of flooring covering being proposed!); configuration of the area (U-shapped or L-shapped flooring pattern if after or before -pinched floating flooring etc.) too many variables to consider, esp. since you offered not even the least worthy of factual information NECESSARY to MINIMALLY offer a CONSIDERED OPINION.

What did you pay for? nothing! How much did you minimally invest in offering up the question? Nothing, in fact LESS THAN NOTHING, since you afforded not even the minimally necessary information to afford a MINIMALLY CONSERED opinion!

Keep quessing and pay twice or more to eventually it minimally right in the first place.
